ARIZONA-SONORA DESERT MUSEUM REVIEWS
We live in Phoenix and have been here many times, so we decided to take our out of town visitors to the Desert Museum. It’s been a few years for us, but the place has only gotten better. It is definitely a well curated representation of the flora and fauna of the whole Sonoran desert, not just Arizona. The wildlife areas are, of course, the most impressive. Many or most of the animals at the museum were rescued from bad situations involving humans, and even through they are now living in what is essentially a zoo, they seem to have very nice area and great care. I will definitely go back again, probably when it’s a little cooler out so that we can see more of the residents. Very highly recommended.
It's a truly beautiful attraction with stunning views of nature. The harmony of various saguaro, mountains, and the sky is breathtaking. Very scenic drive ways to get here as well. We visited with my 2-year-old baby, and the ground was quite smooth and flat, making it easy to walk around and explore the sights. Please be sure to bring a stroller when you visit with your toddlers though. I highly recommend this museum to visitors from other states or countries.
Really enjoyed our day here. If you are interested in seeing a lot of different vegetation and a nice walk This is it. There were different exhibits which were nice like the minerals and there’s a few live animal exhibits but just seeing the beautiful Saguaro’s made it worth it!

REID PARK ZOO REVIEWS
Lovely & affordable zoo to visit with the family. The zoo is easy to navigate, it is well kept, and the animals look healthy + well taken care of. The day we went it happened to be raining a bit, but we still had a great time and almost all of the animals were still out, many of which were enjoying playing in the rain. We enjoyed the variety of animals & the different interactive spots they had throughout the zoo. We also enjoyed that they had a pressed penny machine near the gift shop, we love being able to collect pressed pennies from different locations we've visited together as a family. This zoo might be smaller than others we have visited, but we have thoroughly enjoyed visiting both of the times we've visited. I would 100% recommend this zoo to anyone who enjoys animals/visiting zoos.
Fun for the whole family. Kids loved running to look at all the animals and ask staff millions of questions they seemed willing to answer. A new play area has been completed for kids to release lots of energy and make new friends. Plenty of benches around the zoo for grandparents to sit down and rest as needed. The day we went for a visit All the animals were playful, sleeping, stretching, staring right at us, walking leisurely past us, eating off the tree tops.
Love visiting the zoo. Reid Park Zoo was a lot of fun today. My favorite animals were out today and it was a joy to visit with them. This park is clean, people are extremely friendly and staff pleasant. Will visit again next year when I return.

PIMA AIR & SPACE MUSEUM REVIEWS
Absolutely phenomenal museum! This place is massive! So many air vehicles! I could easily have spent at least 2 days here. Placards are very informative and give some history on the aircraft! Good mix of outdoor and indoor exhibits! The amount of aircraft outside was astounding and I easily spent 3 hours alone wandering around the planes on display outdoors. Bathrooms were easy to find and reasonably spaced around the facility. Even if this place was busy it would still be enjoyable due to its size! I was able to see everything I wanted to see in 5-6 hours but if you want to see everything I would definitely recommend doing the 2 day pass. Highly recommend!
It's where planes go to die. Seriously, it's actually a fascinating place packed with all sorts of aircraft spanning modern history. The collection is eclectic, so it keeps your interest over the several hours you'll need to see everything. The site is huge with hangers and outside display areas, but it's all easily accessible. There's even a short tram tour available. A great way to spend the day if you fancy something different.
Everything about this museum is 10/10. Beware, if you are planning to visit, then plan to be here longer than expected! There is so much more than meets the eye, and you might just find yourself in Snoopy's happy place...wildly imagining the sounds and sites of the Red Baron flying around freely and mastering the sky. My 3-year-old grandson loved, loved, loved it, and was completely enthralled the entire day! We are so glad we spent the day at this museum. We visited previously during the summer months and loved it but returned in the cooler months to really enjoy the outside components more.
